Week 1 Discussion
Project Update Discussion
The assignment provides a forum for discussing relevant topics for this week on the basis of the course competencies covered.
For this assignment, make sure you post your initial response to the Discussion Area by the due date assigned.
To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.
Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ initial postings. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Cite sources in your responses to other classmates. Complete your participation for this assignment by the end of the week.
Task
Introduce your clinical problem, the focus of your research, establish its significance, and provide the clinical evidence related to the clinical problem. Describe where you are in terms of beginning to collect data and your thoughts on data analysis. To ensure that you are sharing a thorough description, your posting should adhere to APA standards and be a minimum of 600 words (not including references).

Week 2 Discussion
Task
This week we will be reviewing completed DNP projects. You will need to find a project which is similar in some way to yours. This similarity may be related to the content, methods, population, or setting. Provide a complete reference for this project. Describe the ways in which this project is similar to your project. In particular, reflect on how the findings of this project, along with the anticipated outcomes of your project, may serve to improve evidence-based practice. A good place to locate a project is the Clinical Scholars Review (also known as the Journal of Doctoral Nursing Practice), which is available through the South University library. There are also various websites where DNP projects are listed. However, if you choose to use a project from a website, you will want to make sure it is peer-reviewed.

Week 9 Discussion
Peer Review
This week, you will conduct a thorough and thoughtful peer review of a classmate’s data collection and analysis sections. The purpose of the peer review is to strengthen your analytical abilities and your writing. You will also learn how to provide constructive and communicative feedback and to respond to feedback on your own work. The concept of peer reviewing is not to grade the paper but to add constructive feedback to the assigned classmate’s paper in order to help strengthen the work.
By the end of the week, post your data collection and analysis sections to the Discussion Area for a classmate to review.
By the end of the week, conduct a thorough and thoughtful classmate review. You may use track changes and add formative comments throughout the document. At the end of the document, give 2–3 paragraphs of summative feedback on the paper. Post this document to your classmate’s discussion thread.
By the end of the week, review your classmate’s feedback on your data collection and analysis sections. If you agree with the recommended changes, incorporate them in the document in Week 10. Post a response for the classmate. Ensure that you incorporate the rationale for any of the changes that you did not include or clarifications that the classmate may have asked for. Of course, in any peer review process, it is always nice to start with a simple “Thank you” to your classmate for taking the time to review and evaluate your work.

Week 10 Discussion
Task
In every course throughout the DNP program, we have finished with a discussion question that promotes self-reflection. Today is the day to remember how far you have come, and how close you are to the finishing line.
Over the past ten weeks, you have learned about evidence-based practice or research through the discussions and assignments in this course and through your practicum experience. Reflect on what goals were successfully met during this course and what goals you have yet to achieve for both your DNP degree and your professional nursing career. How have you met the DNP Essentials in the course activities? Please be specific.
